My wife is in my arms

Chapter 525 Is that you...? Heavenly King II
Seeing that his colleague's behavior had drawn ridicule from Chairman Lin, the head of Tianyu Entertainment, the waiter felt a surge of satisfaction.

Even though his actions had nothing to do with him.

However, as a fellow waiter, he couldn't stand his colleague's consistent behavior, which made him feel out of place in the restaurant.

A man with dreams is standing among a group of people whose hope has been worn down by life. Not only does he disapprove of this, but many people in the restaurant also disapprove of it, because the more he shows his dedication to his dreams, the more they seem content with mediocrity and lacking in ambition.

And he lived next door to his colleague who was full of dreams.

Both of them lived in cheap housing. Every night after get off work, he would be bothered by this guy's various musical instruments. Once or twice was fine, but every night was unbearable!

Even though he knew that his colleague's efforts were justified, the harder his colleague worked, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if he were a regular employee.

He's just a waiter; his job should be cleaning up the tables, but instead he's thinking about releasing a single to become famous.

"I told you not to go, but you still went. Now you're a laughingstock!"

As he passed by his colleague carrying his tray, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

His sarcasm did not upset his colleagues; on the contrary, they smiled at him, their smiles as shy and distant as ever.

"cut"

Seeing his colleague's smile only made him feel more annoyed, and he couldn't help but reply with a single word.

This guy is always like this; he writes all sorts of nonsensical lyrics and plays all sorts of nonsensical tunes. But apart from when he's working at the restaurant and is required to politely greet customers, he's not only clueless in private, but also a bit inarticulate.

Zhang You automatically ignored Lin Bao'er's smile.

"Look, these lyrics are quite interesting."

Lin Baoer smiled.

Zhang You drank his beverage through a straw while looking at the lyrics.

"The restaurant kitchen was filled with the smell of smoke, and next door was an entertainment company. There was a director named Zhang in the company. The lyrics had four verses..." Zhang You was stunned for a moment. It wasn't that the lyrics contained Tianyu Entertainment or his director Zhang, but rather that the lyrics gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"Director Zhang, a man of letters, has written about the streets and has a solid foundation in songwriting. His skill in writing lyrics is like that of an invincible warrior. He has been familiar with his daughter, a famous singer, and can handle songwriting and composing with great flair..."

Zhang You finally understood where the feeling of déjà vu came from.

Because he saw "hum hum ha hee".

The lyrics for "Double Sticks" were written in a style that caused Zhang You's hand to tremble almost imperceptibly. Although it wasn't a real "Double Sticks," the lyrics were written in the style of "Double Sticks."

Why aren't you smiling!?

Lin Bao'er was waiting for Zhang You to burst out laughing when he saw the song titled "Old Zhang Next Door," since the lyrics of the song seemed to be making fun of Zhang You.

But after waiting for a long time, she not only didn't see Zhang You smile, but she also didn't see him angry. Instead, she noticed that Zhang You's expression gradually became serious.

This made Lin Bao'er suspicious, and she pressed, "You don't actually think this song is good, do you?!"

"Very bad"

Zhang You replied without even thinking.

Subconsciously.

He turned to look in the direction of the waiter from before. At that moment, the guy was tidying up the restaurant. He seemed to notice Zhang You's gaze and turned to look at him.

this time.

Zhang You finally noticed what this guy looked like.

Her facial features—face shape, eyes, nose, lips—don't conform to traditional beauty standards. She's not ugly, but not particularly beautiful either, yet she possesses a harmonious and pleasing appearance. Crucially, she does bear a resemblance to Jay Chou. "Is that you... Jay Chou?"

Zhang You muttered to himself, smiled, nodded to the waiter who was looking over, and then looked away. He then said to Lin Bao'er, who was staring at him, "Bao'er, stop looking. If you keep looking, I'm the man you'll never have in this lifetime."

"Stop being narcissistic"

Lin Bao'er rolled her eyes and said.

"hehe"

Zhang You chuckled twice, not dwelling on the matter with Lin Bao'er. While eating his steak, his peripheral vision would occasionally fall on the piece of paper with the title "Old Zhang Next Door" written on it.

It's definitely not Jay Chou. If it were Jay Chou, he wouldn't need to go back to being a restaurant waiter. He could just release a single and take off right away. So this song, "Old Zhang Next Door," is quite interesting.

The lyrics were similar to those of "Nunchucks," but Zhang You didn't care that the lyrics made fun of him. If... Thinking of this, Zhang You's heart skipped a beat.

It's only because Lin Bao'er is here that he can't show it.

Otherwise, he would definitely have made the waiter turn around so he could take a closer look.

"This song is great!?"

Noticing Zhang You's gaze, Lin Bao'er asked curiously.

"Didn't I tell you? He's terrible, and he even made fun of me. Only I'm magnanimous enough not to stoop to his level."

Zhang You said, "What 'Old Zhang Next Door'? I've only heard of 'Old Wang Next Door' and 'Old Li Next Door.' Now... never mind. As the music director of Tianyu Entertainment, if I were to argue with a waiter, it would damage my reputation."

"Why do I get the feeling you're trying to cover something up?!"

Lin Bao'er frowned slightly, then reached out and picked up the lyrics again to look at them. She looked at them for a while, but she couldn't find anything unusual about the song. However, based on her understanding of Zhang You... mainly her understanding of him from his childhood...

Lin Bao'er remembers it very clearly: whenever this kid took a fancy to something when he was little, he would deliberately show disdain for it because he was worried that someone else would take it from him.

When others thought his words made sense and said they didn't want it, he would secretly take it. Lin Bao'er didn't know if Zhang You still had the same cunning as when he was a child, but she secretly kept a watchful eye on him.

"What?! If you don't like it, just sign this waiter to a job."

Zhang You said casually.

Lin Bao'er glanced at Zhang You.

His expression was completely normal, a typical reaction to something he didn't like. But the more he acted this way, the more Lin Bao'er felt that he was acting strangely. After finishing their meal, Lin Bao'er paid the bill and left the restaurant one after the other with Zhang You.

We just arrived at the parking space in front of the restaurant.

"My stomach isn't feeling well, I need to use the restroom. You can go back first, don't wait for me."

Done.

Zhang You clutched his stomach and rushed back to the restaurant.

"..."

Lin Baoer was stunned.

Her premonition came true. In other words, the song that the waiter handed her had something unique that she hadn't noticed, and Zhang You not only noticed it, but also wanted to recruit that waiter behind her back.

Without much hesitation, Lin Bao'er, carrying her handbag, followed along playfully.

Sure enough, Zhang You, who was walking ahead, did not head towards the restroom, but went straight to the waiter.
